No, you'll have to watch the classifieds, 72-74 are all compatible. Search for "sled tins", "tins", "under cylinder", etc..., or just look for someone parting a similar year and ask if they have one.
In the meantime invest in a few cans of Gunk engine brite and get to work degreasing your engine top to bottom, would you think it's OK if you opened the rad cap on a water cooled vehicle and saw all that crap blocking the flow?

That’s not an unusual amount of crud to find under a bus. Think of it as free rustproofing. Yeah, it’s better when it’s clean.
Luckily engine tin is easy to find in the classifieds. |
